Karaoké Mister Cellophane Chicago (la comédie musicale) (Joel Grey)

I'm the father papa, dad dad

Did you hear me?

No you didn't hear me

That's the story of my life nobody ever notice

I'm around, nobody

Not even my parents noticed me

One day I went to school and when I came home they've moved

If someone stood up in a crowd and raised his voice up way out loud

And waved his arm and shook his leg you'd notice him

If someone in the movie show yelled fire in the second row

This whole place is a powder keg you'd notice him

And even without clucking like a hen

Everyone gets noticed now and then

Unless of course that personage should be

Invisible inconsequential me

Cellophane

Mister Cellophane

Shoulda been my name

Mister Cellophane

'Cos you can look right through me

Walk right by me and never know I'm there

I tell ya Cellophane

Mister Cellophane

Shoulda been my name

Mister Cellophane

'Cos you can walk right through me

Walk right by me and never know I'm there

Suppose you was a little cat residin' in a person's flat

Who fed you fish and scratched your ears you'd notice him

Suppose you was a woman wed and sleepin' in a double bed

Beside one man for seven years you'd notice him

A human being's made of more than air

With all that bulk you're bound to see him there

Unless that human bein' next to you is unimpressive undistinguished

You know who

Shoulda been my name

Mister Cellophane

'Cos you can look right through me

Walk right by me and never know I'm there

I tell ya Cellophane

Mister Cellophane

Shoulda been my name

Mister Cellophane

'Cos you can look right through me

Walk right by me and never know I'm there

Never even know I'm there

Hope I didn't take up too much of your time
